ABSTRACT

Nowadays, with the advancement of information technology, all the work can

be done easier. eCar UTeM is an android apps for making reservation of university

vehicle. The main objective of this application is to increase information management where the admin or staff can easily get the information about the

vehicle reservation.Currently, the existing system using emails to notify the staff

about the vehicle reservation. Through the eCar UTeM apps, the staff will be notified

through SMS. The staff automatically will receive the SMS after the vehicle

reservation get endorsement from the Vehicle Department. Therefore, the process of

vehicle reservation becomes faster and easier.There are many things to consider in

developing a system or application. One of the things is the methodology that to be

applied during the system development process. The methodology used for developing the eCar UTeM apps is the V-Model. This methodology is simple and easy to apply in development. And it works well for small projects where requirements are easily understood like eCar UTeM apps. The eCar UTeM used ASP

language, HTML5 and Java as the programming languages. For operating system,

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

The mobile apps development is rising like mushrooms after inception of few

modem hand held devices in the mobile industry. Android mobile operating system

has shown its strong presence with the reason that different mobile manufacturers are

allowed to utilize it for producing amazing hand held devices.

Modem masses of Android based hand held devices are growing parallel like

other popular mobile devices prevailing in the mobile industry. People are using a

wide variety of phones based on Android. With the rise in sale of Android based

devices in the market the Android Applications are also spreading magic with great

mobile enhancing features for meeting the specific requirement of Android users.

1.1 Project Background

eCar UTeM will be develop for Technical University of Malaysia Malacca

to make an official vehicle reservation thru Android apps. As what that informs, at

UTeM there are many type of transports such as car, van, four wheel and bus. This

transport. Another function is for Head of Department to make an endorsement for

that application from their staff. For the administrator function, the function is to

approve the transport booking and to store the transport and driver record details.

Another function in eCar UTeM apps is the users can check their detail

application. The notification about the status of the application will be send to user

thru SMS and email.

Besides, this application is easier compares by using website to make an

application and helps to faster the application process.

1.2 Problem Statements

Before using the eCar UTeM apps, the staffs make an application using web

application via Web Browser. It's difficult to access the system because they need

laptop or personal computer to make an application. The worst case scenario is when

Head of Department and the officer of Vehicle Department missed or late to make an

endorsement of that application because of this problem. It will make them in trouble

because the staff those make an application maybe do not have any transport to settle

their job.

The staffs have a problem to check their status of application whether the

application approved or rejected. They need to check the application thru email or at

the website using laptop or personal computer.

1.3 Objectives

These are the objectives to be archieved from developement of eCar UTeM

apps

:-• To increase information management where the admin or staff easily

to get the information about the reservation.

The system automatically will send the notification thru SMS to Head of

Department when the staffs make an application. The notification also will be

sent to the Officer Vehicle Department, UTeM when the Head of Department

approved that application. If that application rejected by Head of Department,

the notification status will be sent to the staff. After the Officer Vehicle

Department makes an endorsement, the status of application will be sent to

staff. The staff will get information about the application reservation directly.

• To provide a medium for receiving application from the UTeM

community through android application.

Mobile app is a new generation of application that wants to grow. It was a

great experience to explore and learn about the mobile app.

• To introduce a new way to enter system which is using mobiles

apps.

Using the mobile app, the application will be able to use easily. The

application also will be able to use every time and everywhere using

• StaffUTeM

The targets of user for eCar UTeM is all UTeM staff from each department or

faculty. They can make the application and check their application status via these

apps. This system not covers vehicles booking for student use.

• Dean or Head of Department

Besides, application endorsement at each department or faculty such as Dean

or Head of Department must endorse their staff application vehicles whether to

support the application or not.

• Admin (Vehicle Department)

These apps are used by Administrator at Vehicle Unit to manage the

application of vehicle from staffs. The Assistant Registrar need to endorse the

application and search the available vehicles and drivers for each approved

application.

1.5 Project Significance

eCar UTeM is believed to bring lots of benefit to its users and admin at

UTeM. The benefit is the users can make a transport booking more easily. It is

because users just enter the information to make an application about transport

booking by android apps. The users also don't have to go management department to

make a transport booking. Beside that, users also don't have to use a paper to fill in

the form but just enter the information about transport booking in computer by the

android apps.

This way also can safe the user's time. While for admin can help management

of the information. The admin do not have to check the availability of the transport

because it is check automatically by the system. The admin can get the information

about the transport booking such as who want to book the transport, what type of

5

transport, what location and how long time duration of booking. After that, admin

can make a report and show the statistic about transport that is booked by month via

the system. So, data integrity in database will be increased with safety because only

admin can use and see the information in database.

1.6 Expected Output

UTeM staffs can easily using the apps to make an application for UTeM

official vehicles service application and check the status of the application. The Head

of Department also can use these apps to make an endorsement for the application.

And the Vehicle Department can process the application using these apps also.

1.7 Conclusion

From this apps, eCar UTeM to enable the UTeM staffs to make an official

vehicles service application thru Android apps. After the staffs make an application,

the application automatically will be send to the Head of Department to get their

endorsement and the notification about the application will be send thru SMS and

thru email also. After the application gets the endorsement by Head of Department,

the application automatically will be send to get endorsement from Vehicle

Department and officer that in charge can get notification thru SMS and email. All

the application will be received directly to the Vehicle Department, Development

Office UTeM. This application can be used by all staff UTeM. And the status of

application will be displayed on the 'Status Permohonan' menu and the staff will get

the information about the application thru SMS. Using e-Car UTeM can increase the

information management where the admin or staff easily can get the information

CHAPTER2

LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY

2.1. Introduction

A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of

current knowledge on a particular topic. Most often associated with science-oriented

literature such as a thesis, the literature review usually precedes a research proposal,

methodology and result selection. Its ultimate goal is to bring the reader up to date with current literature on a topic and forms the basis for another goal, such as the justification for future research in the area.

A good literature review is characterized by a logical flow of ideas; current

and relevant references with consistent, appropriate referencing style; proper use of

the terminology on the topic.

According to Cooper ( 1988), "a literature review uses as its database reports

of primary or original scholarship, and does not report new primary scholarship

itself. The primary reports used in the literature may be verbal, but in the vast

majority of cases, reports or written documents. The types of scholarship may be

empirical, theoretical, critical/analytic or methodological in nature. Second a

literature review seeks to describe, summarize, evaluate, clarify and/or integrate the content of primary report".

2.2. Facts and Findings

eCar UTeM apps is a process where the user has to make an application to

use the transport that is available at the UTeM. It is because to ensure each of

transport journeys recorded all information about the user who is using the transport,

what type of transport that they will be used, how long time they used the transport

and where the place they will go.

Normally, transport booking can make if the user want to use the transport

that is available at the UTeM follow the type of transport, location, date and time.

The user must book before use the transport do three day before date of departure. It

is to ensure the transport that they want to use is available or not on the date and

duration. The administrator also can see the information about transport booking.

2.2.1. Existing System

In this part, the topic being discussed is about comparing an existing system

that is being used with the system that will develop, which is the Online Transport

Booking System. The system that is similar with Airport Car Rental, MyTeksi and

K-Kenderaan UTeM.

• Airport Car Rental

The Airport Car Rental app creates your reservation in real time so your

booking is instantly confirmed, and records of the details are sent straight to your

email address. We value your privacy and our secure booking system ensures that

your personal details remain safe.

The Airport Car Rental App is a product of Car Rental Republic, a global

rental car distributor that arranges reservations for hundreds of thousands of travelers

Figure 2.4 : Project Methodology

• Phase: Planning

The planning stage establishes a view of the intended system, and uses

this to establish the basic project structure, evaluate feasibility and risks

associated with the system and describe appropriate management and

technical approaches. In order to get a more detailed and clear understanding

of how the current official vehicle services application works, must conduct a

field study. Must do the interview the officer at management department and

11

ask for their permission to show system that is uses official vehicle services

application via web browser.

• Phase: Requirement Analysis

During this stage, research is done to determine the system requirements.

The current official vehicle services application is studied in order to analyze

the advantage and disadvantage of the current system. Therefore, a new

feature and functions are added to the e-Car UTeM to improve the system

performance.

• Phase: Analysis

Basically two analyses are carried out. First is analysis on the current

system and second is analysis on the system that will be developed. The

analysis on the system to be developed is important to ensure that developers

understand what to be done in the next stage. Functional requirements are

identified and are presented using Unified Modeling Language (UML). These

includes the use cases and sequence diagrams.

• Phase: Detail Design

Design elements describe the desired system features in detail and

generally include functional hierarchy diagrams, screen layout diagrams,

business rules, business process diagrams and class diagram. These design

elements are intended to describe the software in sufficient detail that

programmers may develop the system with minimal additional input.

• Phase: Coding and Debugging

After requirements and detailed design is specified, the coding for the

Programmers perform unit tests to assess the functionality of small

modules of code. Unit tests will be done to ensure e-Car UTeM works on the

intended platform and with the expected results when specific action is taken.

• Phase: Integration and System Test

eCar UTeM is tested to ensure that interfaces available works when

specific action is taken and the simulation between modules works when user

take an action.

• Phase: Acceptance Test

After the system has completed, it will be presented to supervisor,

assessor and public to ensure the eCar UTeM meets user requirements and is

feasible.

2.4. Project Requirements

Project requirements which describe software development tools and platform for

development of eCar UTeM are as below. Software and hardware requirement are

important to make sure all the development phase work smoothly.

2.4.1. Software Requirements

Software requirement is software need when want to develop a eCar UTeM

apps. This is a list of software
